I made a comment to my mother yesterday about having looked at Ilse’s teeth that morning and found them in good condition. I then told her that I think the reason is because I feed her dry dog food straight. And I also said she doesn’t gobble her food down like some dogs as Ilse really crunches on her food.

And then another thing I do is don’t add water to her food as this makes the food mushy, and I think dogs benefit more from food that is crunchy. As if Ilse does want water I always make sure she has it available in a separate bowl. Also dogs that gobble their food down seem to have more problems with tartar building up on their teeth when compared to dogs that really chew their food.
